My Rebel Fleet Trooper WIP!

RogueLeader1995 (Giulia Andriulo) · Posted: Sun Oct 18, 2020 8:27 pm Post subject: My Rebel Fleet Trooper WIP!

Hello everyone!
I'm Giulia from Italian Base and I finally decided to start working on my Rebel Fleet Trooper.
I already have the helmet and boots, I'll show you some pictures:

Helmet.

Boots.

Since I'm building this costume with my boyfriend (Admiral_Liam) we found some really good links for our vest and pants:

https://www.outinstyle.com/rothco-poly-cotton-twill-solid-bdu-shirts-14854.html (to use as a base for our vests)

https://www.outinstyle.com/rothco-bdu-pants-15698.html (pants)

about the shirt, we are thinking about modifying two light blue shirt, following the standards.

About the belt, I think I'll buy this one from philoprops:

Can't wait to become a trooper! Laughing

hello RogueLeader

Looking over your list, and having been a Trooper judge in the past, the boots look fine (Just be sure to blouse down your pants over the buckle so it does not show Imperial style).
The pants can be a concern. I do not trust the pics in listings from Rothco for good reason. The pants should be a light-ish grey, and for some time Rothco was producing a darker, almost charcoal grey that we could not approve. its really hard to tell from this picture. Honestly , thats the primary reason I never finished my own, in my size, pants are VERY limited. I hope these will work for you. Please post photos fo them inside and outside in sunlight so we can see what color they are.
Looking forward to more progress photos from you.

I really hope those get approved. It got rough for a while when Rothco went to a smoke grey. There used to be a color out there called Swat grey that was about perfect but that was years ago, and well fashion styles have changed, even for 'tactical' clothing

here's the ref:

The pants you have listed may be approved, its up to the Judge, and I know the struggle because I was a Rebel Trooper Judge for a couple of years.

I do know there are makers who make pants on esty and ebay for RFTs. When I was RAID DCO I was in talks with a young lady in Taiwan that had a fantastic and rather accurate set, she may still be on Ebay.

Yup yup yup!
I bought a pair of the charcoal grey and they are darker for sure.
Your husband's photo is familiar. I may have been his judge at the time. Hard to say, its been a while.

I have been suggesting this seller to applicants because they sell a "Lt gray" and "Charcoal" and you can see the difference in the pics. They've also had good prices in the past.

https://www.ebay.com/str/AMERICAN-BDU-S?_trksid=p2047675.l2563

If in doubt email with your preference.
